Final Destination
Scored from 630 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
A high school student has a premonition of a catastrophic plane crash and convinces several classmates to evacuate before takeoff. When the plane crashes and everyone on board is killed, the survivors realize they've escaped death but are now marked for elimination by death itself, hunted down one by one through a series of gruesome, ironic accidents.
James Wong directed Final Destination, a horror, thriller and supernatural film from 2000. It is rated R. It was made in the United States. It stars Devon Sawa, Ali Larter and Kerr Smith. The runtime is 98 minutes.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 13,127 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 630 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 647 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Final Destination lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 630.
